What IMO made this discussion unsuccessful is that you seem to be
unwilling to compromise. I can accept that the specific implementation
is ill-designed, and I'm willing to change it, and have offered a number
of alternatives - all of which you have ignored.

Apparently, you cannot accept anything else but the total removal of
the feature, which I honestly think doesn't reflect the needs of the
majority of the Python users.
